ummmm, maybe they haven't started recovering it yet.
Here is what the oil executives had to say about it in their report, Strategic Energy Policies for the 21st Century:
"The American people must know about this situation and be told as well that there are no easy or quick solutions to today’s energy problems."
"As it is, national solutions alone cannot work. Politicians still speak of U.S. energy independence, while the United States is importing more than half of its oil supplies and may soon for the first time become reliant on sources outside North America for substantial amounts of natural gas. More flexible environmental regulation and opening of more federal lands to drilling might slow but cannot stop this process. Dependence is so incredibly large, and growing so inexorably, that national autonomy is simply not a viable goal. In the global economy, it may not even be a desirable one."
